"But you’re already dead”

'Let's review what happen before' Suzuki thought. Suzuki had exercised every day so his strength is 25 while his charisma increased to 30 also his perception and dexterity has increased to now 30 now. Also he worked very hard at Sol Latte that he got some more bonus from Kaho so he was able to pay his rent for the month. Suzuki also got around 30 points from exercising so he bought the skill Liquid ball he then go out to test his skill.

For 1 litter of water is equal to 1 mana for Suzuki so he have got a lot of mana from the river nearby. Then Suzuki lifted his hand chanted "Liquid ball!!" What shot out of his hand was a soft ball size ball of liquid that goes as fast as some one throwing a ball. The skill usage used 10 mana and 1 litter of water to use. Then Suzuki used 30 more mana to the skill and what shot out was a basket ball size water ball that goes as the same speed as before.'This is pretty useful' Suzuki thought the he go back to his apartment.

Suzuki saw that Alicia and Chitose going out "Good morning Kizuna-san going to school?" Suzuki asked Alicia "Good morning, yes Ryo-kun we are going to school also I don't think we need you to accompany us anymore because it is pretty save for the past week" Alicia said. "If you say so Kizuna-san then I'll go to my room" Suzuki said then he left. "Just admit it Onee-chan you want to spend more time with him now don't you?" Chitose said while grinning. 'It's not like I want to be with him more, though I wish he could go to the same school as us' Alicia thought. "It doesnt matter now does it Chi-chan he still have a life to live and we got ours" Alicia said to Chitose "But you still like him now don't you?" Chitose asked Alicia "I just like him as a friend!! alright so enough with that lets go now!" Alicia said to Chitose while she walks away "Onee-chan wait~" Chitose said cheerfully

Suzuki was in his room testing his other ability. Right now he is testing metal skin then his skin turn a little bit dark but it was hard to notice. The activation cost is around 5 mana then he tried to stab his hand with a fork but it just bounced off but it shaved 10 points of mana. 'Hmm it is at least as strong as a metal plate' Suzuki thought then he grabbed a knife and stab his hand. It just cut a bit of his skin, it cost 100 points of mana to protect Suzuki from the knife. 'I guess the higher my damage done to me the more mana it took to decrease it' Suzuki concluded. Suzuki's life bar was at 235 so he test his other skill. Suzuki used metal body reinforcement. Suzuki used 5 points of his life to increase his arm weight then his arm got heavier. Suzuki rest his arm on a scale 'As I thought it increased but only 25 kg I'm surprise that I can still wave my hand around' Suzuki concluded. 'Alright lets try the hardening shall we' Suzuki thought then used 5 points of his life again to test the hardening on his hand. Suzuki then knocked on his hand and a loud *clang* resound from his hand. 'Wow I think my hand is like a steel now' Suzuki thought then he tried to picked up a nearby wood plank in his room the punch it. The wood plank broke more easily more than Suzuki thought. 'Well I think it's because my hand is as hard as steel now' Suzuki concluded. Then Suzuki heard a lot scream

"SUZUKI!!! RUN AWAY FROM THE APARTMENT NOW!!!" Kaho scream as loud as she can. Right now Kaho was being held by two thugs. "God dammit woman!! now he knows we are here!!!, you're lucky that our boss is told us to be gentle or I will smack that face of yours!!!" the angry thug said

"It's fine isn't, we can still beat him I mean 10 armed thugs like us versus one teen age boy who make a gorilla like strength" said another thug "Yeah I guess it's fine so let us just wait down sta-" a thug said but before he could finish his sentence he was stepped down by Suzuki. "Alright who is the bastard who send you here!!" Suzuki said while he cracked his fingers "What is with this guy?! is he crazy or what?" a thug confused said "I'm the boy with a strength of a gorilla and WHO SEND YOU HERE!!!" Suzuki said furiously "D-d-don't falter we still have 9 people left so we can beat him!!!" a thug said "YEAH!!!!!!" the other thugs shouted "Fine then if you don't want to tell me then I'll just force it out of you guys" Suzuki said then he drop kick a thug. The thug flew towards another thug *crash* a loud sound resound in the neighborhood. "Don't think that I will be nice to you guys" Suzuki said.

'They are a lot easier than I thought' Suzuki thought as he kicked the last thug in to a recycle able trash bin. "Are you alright Kizuna-san? do you know where Alicia-san and Chitose-san are?" Suzuki asked Kaho with concern "Y-y-yes I'm fine Ryo-kun but I don't know where they are but they said they were hired by the young master of the acryptic company and they're order are not to harm me" Kaho said 'He's a lot stronger than I thought' Kaho thought as she look at Suzuki "That bastard I will find him, in the mean time call the police Kizuna-san and be careful they might still be around" Suzuki said then he runs of toward the market district 'He is very reliable and that look of his' Kaho thought smiling.

(Congratulation your relation ship with Kaho Kizuna has increased, Kaho now consider you as more than friends.)

Now back to the present. Right now Suzuki is searching for signs of Alicia or Chitose in the market district 'If they are going to school they must have passed this area' Suzuki thought as he runs through an alleyway 'I hope they are fine' Suzuki wished from the bottom of his heart. Although Suzuki is not in love with anyone of them but they are his first friend after spending a week walking together he felt like he can't just leave them when they are in trouble because he will be the same like the original Suzuki Ryo. 'I won't let you guys go unharmed from this!!!' Suzuki thought then he saw beautiful green pony tailed girl being pinned by 3 yankee.

'I think I can't hold out any longer' Chitose thought 'Onee-chan I'm so sorry'. Tear fell out from Chitose's eyes as she thought about this. Chitose always loved Alicia because Alicia is the only one who have taken care of her while Kaho is out, so their relation ship is very good. 'I'm sorry Onee-chan I can't protect you even though I promised' Chitose thought as she remembered her promise. "Chi-chan promise me that you will say if you are in trouble so I can help you, also if you see me in trouble please help me too" Alicia said to Chitose when they are younger. 'I'm such a useless little sister' Chitose thought. "HAHAHA!!! it looks like you can't fight anymore" yankee boss said "Now hold her and rip her shirt!!" yankee boss ordered "Kyaa!!! wh-wh-what are you doing!!!" Chitose shouted "Hehehe, bocchan said that we can do anything to you" yankee boss said while grinning pervertedly as he loosen his belt "No anything but that!!!" Chitose shouted "Hahaha yes scream more that's the way I like it" yankee boss said as he got closer. Before the yankee boss touched Chitose he was sent flying by some one. "You disgusting Bastard!!!" Suzuki said after he punched the yankee boss. Suzuki used 10 life points in his punch so the yankee boss fainted as he hit the ground. "Don't think that you two will get away!!" Suzuki said to the 2 yankee "Hiiiii!!!!!" the 2 yankee screamed falling down. A another loud *crash* resounded in the alleyway.

Suzuki kicked the 3 yankee into the corner filled with trash. "Are you Alright Chitose-san? do you know where is your sister?" Suzuki asked "Ah yes I'm fine but Onee-chan is being chased by Kuzuto (trash Kirito) and they gone to that direction!" Chitose said pointing the other way 'My prince has arrived!!' Chitose thought while blushing. Ever since Chitose was a child she always like fairy tale where the princess got saved by a prince, the situation right now is exactly like one of the romance novel she read. 'Kya!!! He is so manly wha-wha-what should I do!!!' Chitose thought as she hold her bright red cheeks. "Alright Kizuna-san could you call the police while I go chase that trash down" Suzuki said then turn around "Alright Ryo-senpai!" Chitose said while saluting "But can you call me Chi-chan from now on" Chitose said in a low voice while blushing "If that what you want Chi-chan, Alright then I'll get going now" Suzuki said then he runs toward the direction Chitose was pointing. "Kyaa!! He said my name, Ryo-senpai is so cool!!!" Chitose screamed while she hop up and down with a bright red face.

(Congratulation your relation ship with Chitose Kizuna has increased, Chitose now is in love with you.)

Alicia Kizuna is resting right now. "Ha..ha.. I think I lost him" Aliciasaid while panting. Alicia was chased by Kirito after they got saperated with Chitose 'I hope Chi-chan is ok' Alicia thought as she look left and right. 'Where am I now?' Alicia thought. After running for so long Alicia has lost her way. 'For now let just get away from here' Alicia thought. After walking for a while, Alicia runs into a dead end. 'Shot, I got lost again' Alicia thought then she turned around. "I found you~ my love" a disgusting voice resound in the alleyway it was Kirito. 'Kyaa!! He found me' Alicia thought as she try to find a hiding spot "There is no use in hiding I know you are stuck in a dead end" Kirito said sounding confident 'I guess this is it' Alicia thought as she braced her self "There you are my love! I have come to pick you up but you ran away, why do you hate me?" Kitiro said "Yes in fact, I never liked you since we first met" Alicia replied "Wah!! So cold, but that part about you is beautiful too" Kirito said 'Why is this guy is so disgusting' Alicia thought "Come here now let us enjoy our first night together" Kirito said as he approach Alicia. But before Kirito grabbed Alicia's shoulder Alicia hit him in the head with a wooden stick. Kirito fell down "You deserved that you creppy snotty rich boy!!!" Alicia said then she runs away. *BANG* a gun shot resound in the alleyway. Alicia tripped on her foot surprise by the sound. "YOU BITCH!! HOW COULD YOU HIT YOUR SOUL MATE WITH A WOODEN STICK!!" Kirito shouted at Alicia with blood oozing from his head. Kirito have a gun on his hand and smoke is coming out from the barrel. "WHAT DO YOU DON'T LIKE ABOUT ME?!! I AM WAY BETTER THAN THAT GUY YOU WERE HANGGING OUT WITH!!! I'M RICHER, STRONGER AND MORE HANDSOME THAN HIM!!! SO WHY ALICIA WHY DO YOU CHOOSE THAT GUY!!!" Kirito shouted like a madman with blood shot eyes "He is better than you in every single way, he is nice, gentle, handsome and not a pervert like you!!" Alicia shouted back. "THEN DIE!!" Kirito said as he pulled the trigger. *BANG* Before Kirito shot Suzuki got in front of Alicia "R-R-Ryo-kun!!?" Alicia said surprised "I will not let him hurt you Kizuna-san I already promised you that I will keep you save" Suzuki said bravely. 'Phew thank god I made it in time or else that bullet will hit her in the head' Suzuki thought. The bullet hit Suzuki in his shoulder he used metal skin and metal body reinforcement so the bullet didn't go through so deeply, his life points is 75 from 250. "HA?! KEEP HER SAVE BUT WITH THAT WOUND WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO!!! YOU WILL DIE SOON HAHAHAHA!!!" Kirito shouted as he laugh manically "But you're already dead" Suzuki said "WHAT!!" Kirito shouted suddenly he felt huge wave of pain from his crotch then he fainted.

"Are you alright Kizuna-san?" Suzuki asked "Y-y-yes but what did you do to him and how about you Ryo-kun?" Alicia asked back 'You got that from protecting me' Alicia thought as she blushed. When the bullet almost hit Suzuki, his skill survival instinct was activated then he delivered a kick with metal body reinforcement that used 25 life points. 'His nether region is crushed now' Suzuki thought "Yeah I think he lost to much blood before he shot, but now that you mention it my shoulder hurts now" Suzuki replied with a wry smile "Then let's go to the hospital, we need to get that treated quickly!" Alicia said then she walks away 'He looks so cool before and he even kept his promise to protect me like a princess' Alicia thought as her whole face got redder and her lips loosen up. Then Alicia remembered something "Also could you call me by my front name now?" Alicia asked "If that is what you want then alright Alicia-san" Suzuki replied then Alicia's face got as red as the setting sun
